Message | It is still private companies doing the exploring. The employees are doing it in the name of their company, not for the state. That is the problem. |

Message | THey are receiving government contracts and the federal government is overseeing all aspects of space exploration as it says in the law. Just because the Private Sector is doing the exploring (as they rightly should) that does not mean there is no government oversight. There will always be government oversight. |

Random quote: "John Burroughs has stated that experimental study of animals in captivity is absolutely useless. Their character, their habits, their appetites undergo a complete transformation when torn from their soil in field and forest. With human nature caged in a narrow space, whipped daily into submission, how can we speak of its potentialities?" - Emma Goldman |
